- Summary:
- Inspired by artist Otobong Nkanga?s suggestion that ?caring is a form of resistance?, this pioneering book will highlight the ways in which artists are helping to reframe and deepen our psychological and spiritual responses to the climate crisis.00Essays by Rachel Thomas, Maja Fowkes and Reuben Fowkes, and Rebecca Solnit explore work by the 14 featured international artists; the history of climate-concerned art; and the role art has to play in climate activism today. After a series of short essays on each of the featured artists, a ?tapestry? of texts ? old and new ? weaves together the voices of the artists in the exhibition with other practitioners from the worlds of literature and ecology.00The book?s unique take on the climate crisis is the connection between activism, care and hope, explored through the work of leading contemporary artists. As well as the text ?tapestry?, mentioned above, we have been given licence to publish a new text by Greta Thunberg, based on her recent keynote speech delivered at the Southbank Centre in 2022.00Exhibition: Hayward Gallery, London, UK (21.06. - 03.09.2023).
